This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 8 and 2 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

Storybook Forest

This was 3 days ago, but better late than never right? Thursday evening me and Brad met some friends in Edmond at Lake Arcadia's Storybook Forest for a fun Halloween time! All the kids were wearing their costumes. It is a non-scary trail with scenes from fairy tales (Three Little Pigs, Hansel and Gretel, etc.) set up and people handing out candy. After the trail we went on a hayride, then roasted wieners and marshmallows and drank hot chocolate before heading home. Nick has had the flu for a week so he did not get out in the cold!

(The little girl here is my friend's daughter Soniyah and the hat is one that I made!)

--Lady that lives in a shoe--

--Little piggie with a brick house--

--Witch's house from Hansel and Gretel--

--Peter Rabbit (Brad was scared of him)--

--Little red riding hood (with the big bad wolf in bed)--

Temp tattoo of a pumpkin he got on his hand.

We had a great time and he got compliments on his costume! I made the costume out of a hoodie from the thrift store, sweatpants from store, felt ears, fabric stuffed tail, and a white boa! Total cost was around $5 and he is the cutest darn skunk you have ever seen!

We can't wait for Wednesday! We will have friends over and get our annual jack-o-lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's, then all dress up and go trick-or-treating until bedtime!

Who I Am...

I am a wife, mother, nurse, and all around crafty gal enjoying being in my 30s. I've been married for over 15 years to my first love and we grew our family with the help of IVF--not once but twice--and are infertility survivors. We are simple people who prefer an old-fashioned lifestyle. We live on a budget but are happy to splurge on travels!
